“It’s not hard to decide what you want your life to be about. What’s hard, she said, is figuring out what you’re willing to give up in order to do the things you really care about.”

“Today, from a distance, I saw you
walking away, and without a sound
the glittering face of a glacier
slid into the sea. An ancient oak
fell in the Cumberlands, holding only
a handful of leaves, and an old woman
scattering corn to her chickens looked up
for an instant. At the other side
of the galaxy, a star thirty-five times
the size of our own sun exploded
and vanished, leaving a small green spot
on the astronomer’s retina
as he stood on the great open dome
of my heart with no one to tell.”

“I married a shooting
star, a widower before
“I do.”

Every so often something hits my in-box that grabs me- something I haven’t seen before. Feast your eyes on these arresting images from Parisian designer, Marie Seguy. À mon avis, the beauty of the line lies in the modernist shapes and architectural construction, which as it turns out is not a coincidence. Marie studied architecture and used the skills she honed at university as a jumping off point for an amazing career in fashion. Beauty transcends every discipline and Marie’s work is a raw but perfect example of that.
